RE: PDFFrameMakerPDF Color Issue
Framers, I have now studied the material forwarded by Richard, and the PDF he imports into his FrameMaker document is a perfectly well behaved PDF with correctly defined spot colors and duotone images. On Page 14 in Adobe® FrameMaker® 7.2 User Guide Supplement for Windows® and UNIX® it's stated: snip Importing PDF and Illustrator files (UNIX) -- You can import Adobe PDF files and Illustrator 9 and 10 files into a FrameMaker document in release 7.1 or later. When you import a PDF or Illustrator file into FrameMaker, the file is treated as a graphic, and only one page can be imported at a time. You can import it either by copy or by reference. ***Both process and spot colors can be displayed and printed***. /snip This statement seem to be faulty. At least, on Windows spot colors contained in imported PDF documents appear NOT to be retained when output from FrameMaker on Windows, and will -- as far as I can see -- effectively output as defined in their alternate color space, usually CMYK. Hence, importing spot colored PDF documents is to no avail with FrameMaker on Windows. I haven't tested on other platforms. Grafikhuset Publi PDF can normally deal with this issue via custom color maps and repair such spot colors. However, it can NOT repair duotone images, since these are output as composite CMYK, which mean they cannot be repaired at all. To create a custom color map in Grafikhuset Publi PDF you simply right-click the Publi PDF icon in the system tray, select the Attended Queue you want to use, and then turn on automatic creation of color maps in the Optimizer section of the pop-up menu. This will prompt you with an interface that allow you to create new spot colors -- next time you print to the queue. When the dialog show up do as follows: (1) Type the spot color name and enter the CMYK values (0-100) in the toolbar. (2) Click the small button right of the K component field. This this will add the spot color to the drop-down list that appear when you click any field in the convert to column of the table. (3) When a spot color is selected the Tint value can be entered in the corresponding field in the %T column. Be careful NOT to check the OT field, since this will apply Overprint, which you most often do NOT want. Clicking the Convert to field for each listed Gray, RGB, CMYK or other spot color allow you to remap colors exactly as your job require. When finished you can save the color map for later use. You may actually attach it to the queue, so you don't need to enter new information each time you print (If you attach it to the queue you should switch off the automatic color map creation, since its OFF state assure that the analysis phase is skipped and conversion is run directly without prompting). Hope this helps.

RE: Is there a way to paste text as default?
In responding about the personal copy of maker.ini Bodvar wrote (in part): 1. ~\Documents and Settings\ ~~~ da da da \maker.ini showed with today's stamp, implying that it is regenerated each time you boot. Not true. What happens is that the current session's preference items get saved each time you exit FrameMaker so that they will be used as the defaults the next time you start FrameMaker. 2. The personal maker.ini file only shows portions of the main file and seems to handle locations of folders and such. The personal maker.ini can specify a personal override value for *any* parameter that is controlled by the ini file. By default, it included things like default directories, user dictionaires, user preference items like automatic save, and default locations of dialog boxes--all the kinds of things that any user is likely to set for their own personal preference. The whole point is to allow different users of a shared computer to set up their defaults the way they like them without interfering with other users. When you start FramemMaker, the main maker.ini is read first, then the current user's maker.ini. This means that all settings in the main maker.ini are used except for the specific items that are included in the personal maker.ini.

RE: Text insert causing rogue H1
Chen, Loretta wrote: We have a text insert in our Preface that starts with a H1. Every time we update the insert in the Preface file, it causes an extra blank H1 to appear in the file *after* the insert. Is this just because our insert starts w/a H1? Yes, it's an annoying bug that's been discussed here many times. If the text inset is imported into an empty pgf so that it sits adjacent to the pilcrow (end of pgf marker), this container pgf takes on the format of the first pgf in the text inset. Fixing this is simple: Separate the text inset from the pilcrow of its container pgf. I use a non-breaking space so that there's a clearly visible text symbol and I don't accidentally delete it. (You do have View Text Symbols turned on, right? Editing FM docs without being able to see the text symbols is negligence, IMHO.) HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Re: Trouble splitting a chapter into two files using FrameMaker....
You will *always* get a page break where a document spans two files. The real reason behind this behavior is that nearly all modern printers are page oriented, that is, they start printing new files on new pages. Old dot-matrix printers were line printers that printed new files on the next line after the end of the previous file, on continuous paper, unless a printer command was included to begin the new file at the top of the next page. The only way around that would be to combine the two source files into a single book component using a text inset for the second part (or inserting both parts btext inset into an otherwise empty container file).

Re: Trouble splitting a chapter into two files using FrameMaker....
Susan, I'm assuming that from the book file you have right clicked on each of the chapter files: 1. In the first chapter file you have set the pagination to delete empty pages; and, 2. in the second file you have set the first page to next available.

PDF>FrameMaker>PDF Color Issue
Framers, I have now studied the material forwarded by Richard, and the PDF he imports into his FrameMaker document is a perfectly well behaved PDF with correctly defined spot colors and duotone images. On Page 14 in "Adobe? FrameMaker? 7.2 User Guide Supplement for Windows? and UNIX?" it's stated: Importing PDF and Illustrator files (UNIX) -- You can import Adobe PDF files and Illustrator 9 and 10 files into a FrameMaker document in release 7.1 or later. When you import a PDF or Illustrator file into FrameMaker, the file is treated as a graphic, and only one page can be imported at a time. You can import it either by copy or by reference. ***Both process and spot colors can be displayed and printed***. This statement seem to be faulty. At least, on Windows spot colors contained in imported PDF documents appear NOT to be retained when output from FrameMaker on Windows, and will -- as far as I can see -- effectively output as defined in their alternate color space, usually CMYK. Hence, importing spot colored PDF documents is to no avail with FrameMaker on Windows. I haven't tested on other platforms. Grafikhuset Publi PDF can normally deal with this issue via custom color maps and repair such spot colors. However, it can NOT repair duotone images, since these are output as composite CMYK, which mean they cannot be repaired at all. To create a custom color map in Grafikhuset Publi PDF you simply right-click the Publi PDF icon in the system tray, select the Attended Queue you want to use, and then turn on automatic creation of color maps in the Optimizer section of the pop-up menu. This will prompt you with an interface that allow you to create new spot colors -- next time you print to the queue. When the dialog show up do as follows: (1) Type the spot color name and enter the CMYK values (0-100) in the toolbar. (2) Click the small button right of the K component field. This this will add the spot color to the drop-down list that appear when you click any field in the "convert to" column of the table. (3) When a spot color is selected the Tint value can be entered in the corresponding field in the %T column. Be careful NOT to check the OT field, since this will apply Overprint, which you most often do NOT want. Clicking the "Convert to" field for each listed Gray, RGB, CMYK or other spot color allow you to remap colors exactly as your job require. When finished you can save the color map for later use.

Is there a way to paste text as default?
I did not even know of the "personal" maker.ini, but it is there sure enough. HOWEVER, I would not recommend putting these things in there, the reason being: 1. ~\Documents and Settings\ ~~~ da da da \maker.ini showed with today's stamp, implying that it is regenerated each time you boot. 2. The "personal" maker.ini file only shows portions of the main file and seems to handle locations of folders and such. 3. Everyone has recommended doing the changes on the main maker.ini. QUESTION: Did you remember to restart (close and start again) FrameMaker after doing the changes? The maker.ini changes will not affect the already running FM, as this is only a file it reads at startup.

In responding about the personal copy of maker.ini Bodvar wrote (in part): > 1. ~\Documents and Settings\ ~~~ da da da \maker.ini showed with > today's stamp, implying that it is regenerated each time you boot. Not true. What happens is that the current session's preference items get saved each time you exit FrameMaker so that they will be used as the defaults the next time you start FrameMaker. > 2. The "personal" maker.ini file only shows portions of the main file > and seems to handle locations of folders and such. The personal maker.ini can specify a personal override value for *any* parameter that is controlled by the ini file. By default, it included things like default directories, user dictionaires, user preference items like automatic save, and default locations of dialog boxes--all the kinds of things that any user is likely to set for their own personal preference. The whole point is to allow different users of a shared computer to set up their defaults the way they like them without interfering with other users. When you start FramemMaker, the main maker.ini is read first, then the current user's maker.ini. This means that all settings in the main maker.ini are used except for the specific items that are included in the personal maker.ini.

Is there a way to paste text as default?
FWIW...I'm running Win XP - SP2 with FM 7.2 (latest patch/update), and there's only one maker.ini where this change can be made, and it's in the Program Files folder in the path where FM 7.2 is installed. There is a maker.ini in the Documents and Settings path to my UserID application data, but it doesn't even contain the line that would need to be modified. Changing the one in the Program Files path is all it took to make the change effective on my system.

Text insert causing rogue H1

Yes, it's an annoying bug that's been discussed here many times. If the text inset is imported into an empty pgf so that it "sits" adjacent to the pilcrow (end of pgf marker), this "container" pgf takes on the format of the first pgf in the text inset. Fixing this is simple: Separate the text inset from the pilcrow of its container pgf. I use a non-breaking space so that there's a clearly visible text symbol and I don't accidentally delete it. (You do have View > Text Symbols turned on, right? Editing FM docs without being able to see the text symbols is negligence, IMHO.) HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Hi Rene ? Mea culpa (or in the modern rendering, ?my bad?). I wrongly expected that changing ClipboardFormatsPrioritiesto have TEXT as the first option would change the ordering in the Paste Special dialog by pushing Text to the top of the list. But what we are talking about here isNOT Paste Special, but simple Paste. Talk about thinking inside the box. Now my simple Paste does indeed paste as text. Problem solved.

Since ClipboardFormatsPriorities specifies how _Paste_ behaves, how would it be advantageous to have Paste Special default to the same behavior? Inquiring minds, etc. Richard -- Richard G.

Anyone have > expertise to share about this problem? You will *always* get a page break where a document spans two files. The only way around that would be to combine the two source files into a single book component using a text inset for the second part (or inserting both parts btext inset into an otherwise empty container file). If you're getting a blank page at the file break, you need to check the pagination properties of both files. The file for the first part needs to be set to "Delete empty pages", and the file for the second part needs to be set to "Next Available". Note that this last setting *must* be made from the book file. If you go to the pagination properties in the file itself, you will not find "Next available" as an option because it does not make any sense for an individual document; it only makes sense in the context of a multi-file book. -Fred Ridder _ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/
Trouble splitting a chapter into two files using FrameMaker....
> You will *always* get a page break where a document spans two files. The real reason behind this behavior is that nearly all modern printers are "page oriented," that is, they start printing new files on new pages. Old dot-matrix printers were "line printers" that printed new files on the next line after the end of the previous file, on continuous paper, unless a printer command was included to begin the new file at the top of the next page. > The > only way around that would be to combine the two source files into a single > book component using a text inset for the second part (or inserting both > parts btext inset into an otherwise empty container file).

Trouble splitting a chapter into two files using FrameMaker....
Hi guys, I have a chapter that is so large that it is causing FrameMaker to crash whenever I do an update. I've spit the chapter into two files, and so at least frame isn't crashing at the moment But I'm having problems with pagination and empty pages being inserted at the point where the chapter jumps from one file to the next. Anyone have expertise to share about this problem? Thanks a ton! Susan
